Shelter Pup – Alvin
Nine-week-old Alvin is an accident, his owner said. The infamous sneaky neighbor dog visited an unspayed female and Alvin and his littermates surprised the human family two months later. Fortunately, Alvin was too cute and naturally loving to be treated like an accident. So, he’s a happy, social, ready-to-adore-someone puppy.
Of course, for him to stay that way, never knowing he wasn’t wanted, Alvin should go home soon. He’s at the age when he’ll naturally transfer all the love that he felt for his mama to his new human family.
Alvin is also at the age when he’s learning like a tiny sponge, faster than ever again. Alvin is learning his roles, his purpose. The tiny puppy needs people to show him he’s a BFF.
